Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width

Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width Borderless Printing by Resizing Originals to Fit the Roll Width
Take advantage of borderless printing to print documents such as posters (made up mainly of photos or images) with-
out a surrounding margin, or border.
In regular printing, a margin required by the printer is added around the original. With borderless printing, you can print
documents without the margin, so that the printed image covers the entire surface of the paper.
Borderless printing is only available with rolls.
•
Paper you can use for borderless printing is restricted to particular types of paper and rolls of particular widths.
•
(See "Paper Reference Guide.")
Although it normally prints borderless on the top, bottom, left, and right (4-edge borderless), in the following cases,
•
it becomes borderless only on the left and right (2-edge borderless) because the top and bottom of the printed
image are not automatically cut.
When paper where the borderless printing is described as two edges only in the Paper Reference Guide (pa-
•
per where printed image areas cannot be cut cleanly) is selected
When the following settings are made in the printer control panel
•
Cutting Mode is Manual
•
CutDustReduct. is On
•
Use Take-up Reel in Take-up Reel is Enable
•
When auto cut is configured as not performed in the printer driver
•
• When printing without borders, be certain to set the blue switch on the platen to the ● side. If the switch is set incorrectly,
print quality may deteriorate. (See "Setting the Blue Switch on the Platen.")
Important
• Borderless printing is not possible if details such as crop marks and margins are included as data on the periphery of the
original.
• If the length of the image to print is short, then since the roll paper is fed out to a prescribed length before cutting in order to
prevent cutting problems and ejection problems, the trailing edge of the roll paper might not be printed borderless.
• These features cannot be used in combination with borderless printing: special page layouts, centering originals, and printing
cut lines on rolls.
• If Fit Paper Size or Print Image with Actual Size (Windows only) is selected while performing borderless printing, Rotate
Page 90 degrees (Conserve Paper) cannot be selected. Note that if borderless printing is possible, then even if the original
is rotated 90 degrees, it will be printed by automatically rotating the page by 90 degrees.
Choose the method of borderless printing that suits the original, as desired.
• Scale to fit Roll Paper Width
Enlarge or reduce the original as a whole to match the roll paper width.
